#Info – Burpees
Burpees are a full-body exercise that boosts cardiovascular fitness and strength. Common mistakes include poor form during the jump or push-up phases, which can lead to injury. Focus on maintaining a straight back and engaging your core throughout. For beginners, modify by stepping back instead of jumping or omitting the push-up. Advanced users can add a tuck jump for increased intensity. Burpees can be adapted to circuit training or HIIT workouts for variety. To avoid burnout, start with manageable reps and gradually increase as your endurance improves. Always prioritize form over speed.
